Abstract The fact that the share of labor in the first income distribution worldwide has been declining has received widespread attention,and the rapid application of intelligent and automated technologies represented by robots may be an important reason.This article describes the economic logic of robots' influence on labor income share through theoretical analysis,and uses the 2018 China Enterprise General Survey Data (CEGS)to conduct empirical tests.The empirical results show that the use of robots has a significant negative impact on the labor income share of the enterprise.The increase in the labor wage rate of the enterprise caused by the use of robots is much lower than the increase in labor productivity,that is,the increase in labor compensation and the increase in labor productivity have not been realized synchronously is the main reason for the decline in labor income share of companies using robots.On average,the use of robots will reduce the labor income share about 4%.Further research found that the decline in the share of labor income caused by robots has significant differences among companies with different ownership,R&D investment,and human capital.
